A few weeks ago I picked up a 1GB [Raspberry Pi 4 Model B][pi4] and
decided to run some `openssl speed` benchmarks.

Test systems:
* Raspberry Pi Zero W
* Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
* Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
* Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
* Linode VM (1 Core)
* Intel i7-8650U (Lenovo X1 Carbon, 6th Gen)
* AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X

Test algorithms:
* `blake2b512`
* `blake2s256`
* `sha256`
* `sha512`
* `aes-128-cbc`
* `aes-192-cbc`
* `aes-256-cbc`

Results are available [here][data].  The code used to run the tests and
generate the charts is [here][code].
